Resource Highlight: Cancer Community Clubhouse

08 August, 2023

Natalie, the founder of Cancer Community Clubhouse, moved to Reno from Texas and immediately saw a need. As a metastatic cancer thriver she knew that having a place to reconnect with life, learn, engage with others who knew what life with cancer was like, and gain emotional support was vital -- and Reno didn't have that.

She built Cancer Community Clubhouse as "a beacon of light through the cancer tunnel." The nonprofit offers free community-based and volunteer-supported services and programs for survivors and caregivers designed to reconnect, recharge, and empower survivors and caregivers so they can live their most fulfilling lives.

CCC has a packed calendar of social and educational activities including mind/body skills groups, meditation groups, journaling workshops, yoga, art and craft events, member socials, lunch and learns, and other activities. And it's all free, supported by community donations and sponsorships.

Learn more about CCC and become a member (it's free!).
